It is definitely no repair. The sticks are too small to stabilize a broken hilt or similar damage. If they were broader they could probably serve as some kind of shock absorber.
Aesthetically they follow the asang-asang, so i still think they are mostly decoration or some kind of talisman.

I think that these sticks are just a help to keep the bindings at the correct distance.

Hello Detlef,

good idea,
but the bindings are not on the silver rings but between them.

Hello Thilo,
